I'm finding that for my area (which is lake county) a pole barn construction is not permitable and one would need to have an engineer sign off on it and then present plans to the planning department for approval. I think this is for pretty much all of California, not sure how it works if a county can over ride the state, but the state building standards commission does not recognize a pole barn construction as a viable building method.
This seems insane to me because everything I've been reading on the internet says that pole barns are cheaper, at least as strong as other standard foundation construction methods, and quicker to build. Anyway, wondering if anyone here from California knows if there are ways around this? I guess if I have to hire an engineer and go through all that it will be more expensive and more of a hassle than it is worth?
